I posted the following back in May and received the reply below.
I asked again in July, but got no response so I assume that wasn't the way to handle it ...
So -- here is the RePost & Reply.
Question is still open: Is the CD ready yet ?/
Roger
===========================================
Can I get: SQL Express with Advanced Services on a CD (or DVD)
I'm on DialUp so a download would take 24hr+.
I was able to get the MS .NET Framework 2.0 on DVD because an MVP took pity on me and was kind enough to give me the "Secret" URL to the correct Order Desk.
I'm hoping one of you knows the URL for this CD/DVD

Hi Roger, We're working on CD images for SQL Server Express with Advanced Services in all the languages that SQL Server usually ships in. The English version is in final testing and should be available in a couple of weeks. Thanks Lead Program Manager, Microsoft SQL Server Storage Engine |
